It said their professionalism, vigilance and operational efficiency helped guarantee order and stability throughout the electoral process

NANS, in a press statement signed by its new president, Comrade Akinteye Babatunde Afeez, said the “successful culmination of the just-concluded convention would have been virtually unattainable without the robust security architecture and strategic coordination meticulously deployed to guarantee a seamless, peaceful and hitch-free exercise.
